All this time I thought I was alone!! Now I can relax and know it isn't only me. LOL.

My wife thinks I am nuts but I keep telling her a clean car will last forever. I might take it a bit too far I remove the bumpers liners etc and clean everything. Drive them and clean everything while I maintain them.

To me part of the fun of ownership other than driving teh stink out of them is to maintain and clean as I go.

It is amazing how 20+ year old rubber parts are like new and pliable when well cleaned and maintained. I can rest easier knowing I am not alone.

My C2, 928 and track car are equally as clean. I always know when something is wrong this way and can show them as well.


BTW a lift makes it much easier.

I always say a clean car is a faster car. Think of the weight reduction from all the dust etc. when the car is spotless it feels faster. In fact it is faster.... It's a proven fact

You know how to pick them. LOL The Cayenne GTS is a royal PITA to keep clean. I did mine a while back and I think I could have cleaned 3 911's in the same time. Black especially makes it a killer but a great ride.

Your cars always look so good Rudy. Any special cleaner/degreaser you use in combination with the undercarriage pressure washing?
